Forever Einstein is a three-piece, instrumental band whose music is based on composition and instrumental interplay. The group's songs tend to be short, catchy, and dynamic, with a playful attitude and an abundance of musical ideas. Formed in 1989, Forever Einstein consists of John Roulat on drums and percussion, Mark Sichel on bass, and C.W. Vrtacek on amplified acoustic guitar and keyboards. Based in Connecticut, the band performed in New York City and throughout New England. Forever Einstein was the opening act at the Fifth International MIMI Festival, a showcase event for avant-rock music, held in St. Martin de Crau, France. C.W. Vrtacek, who composes for the band, has issued a number of solo albums since 1981. He has also worked with the Colorado-based experimental band, Biota. Forever Einstein has also issued a number of records with Cuneiform Records, including the 2000 release, Down With Gravity ~ Jim Dorsch
